Okay, so, I’ve been on the hunt for a new dress lately. Something I can wear to different places, you know? And I stumbled upon this black ruffle dress from H&M and thought, why not give it a shot? It looked cute in the pictures, so I ordered it online.
When it arrived, I tried it on right away. It’s a short dress, kind of loose, made of this crinkly fabric. The neckline has ruffles and a little V-opening with these super thin ties. The sleeves are long and they’ve got elastic at the wrists, which is pretty neat.
First, I wore it to a friend’s birthday dinner. I put on some heels and a nice necklace, and I felt great! I got some compliments on the dress, which was a nice confidence boost.
Then, I thought, let’s see how versatile this thing can be. I decided to try it for a casual day out. So I switched out the heels for some white sneakers and threw on a denim jacket. I grabbed a crossbody bag, and honestly, it was a completely different vibe! It was comfortable, but I still felt put together, you know?
Next up, I even wore it to work! It was simple I added a black blazer and some pumps. Kept the jewelry to a minimum, and it totally worked for the office. I was surprised at how easily it transitioned to a more professional look.
For a final test, I tried wearing it to a show at night. Matched the dress with a leather jacket and some nice boots, It gave the dress a completely different feel, and I received a lot of compliments.
